The neonatal blanket of this invention provides a generally elongated hemispheroidal, self-supporting thermal barrier for use with neonatal infants on open radiant warmer beds or convection-warmed infant incubators. The blanket can be formed from a single sheet of flexible clear plastic vinyl of similar material, shaped to provide a concave central cavity of a size to generally accomodate a neonatal infant, and having a relatively narrow, flat edge portion that extends around the blanket's perimeter. In use, the blanket is placed completely over the infant, so that its inner surface is close to but does not contact the infant's skin, and the flat edge portion both helps to support the blanket and provide an effective and efficient seal with the bedding material below. Thus, the blanket captures a volume of dead air space around the infant, which helps to reduce convective air currents within the infant's thermal microenvironment. |

An inflatable housing includes bottom and side portions adapted to enclose a volume of atmosphere for use as an incubator or an oxygen tent. The side portions of the housing are constructed from spaced apart flexible sheets to form air chambers which extend over a substantial area of the side portions. When the air chambers are inflated, the side portions become self-supporting and the air chambers form a confined air barrier about the volume of atmosphere surrounding the patient. For safety purposes in certain embodiments, at least two independent air chambers are provided around the housing, each of the independent air chambers having the capacity when inflated to maintain the side portions in an upright position. In other embodiments, a top portion has an opening defined therein, with an air chamber ring disposed about the periphery of the opening. The air chamber ring when inflated is capable of maintaining the shape of the opening regardless of the state of inflation of the air chambers in the side portions.

SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MONITORING THE PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITION OF AN INFANT |

A system for monitoring the physiological conditions of an infant includes an infant microenvironment. A motion sensor is disposed about the microenvironment. A processor is communicatively connected to the motion sensor. The processor receives motion signals from the motion sensors and processes the motion signals to derive an indication of a stress level of the infant. A method of monitoring the physiological condition of an infant includes detecting motion of the infant with motion sensors. A baseline motion for the infant is derived from the detected motion with a processor. An onset or change in at least one auxiliary parameter is monitored with an auxiliary sensor. Motion of the infant is monitored with the motion sensor after the onset or change in the at least one auxiliary parameter. A stress level of the infant is derived with the processor from the monitored motion of the infant. |

A modular neonatal intensive care system including an infant incubator, bassinet and frame is provided. The infant incubator of the present disclosure is configured for reducing the overall cost and/or minimizing the amount of power that the neonatal care system or infant incubator draws. A number of the features also make the design more appropriate for the conditions in developing countries. The neonatal care system is also integrated with a hospital bassinet which is made up of a bassinet bed and a frame. The frame for the bassinet acts as both a structural support system and a means for transportation when the neonatal care incubator is attached at the top of the frame. |
